简要总结
Need of Study :
The management of plantar fasciitis involves a variety of interventions, addressing the symptoms the condition and enhancing the overall function of the foot.
Therefore, the purpose of this study is the compare the added effect of Dry Needling or Dry Cupping with Conventional Therapy in the treatment of Plantar fasciitis.
AIM : To study Dry Needling, Dry Cupping with Conventional therapy in the treatment of Plantar Fasciitis.
OBJECTIVES :
-
To study the added effect of Dry Needling, Dry Cupping with conventional therapy, on plantar thickness (measured by USG).
-
To study the added effect of Dry Needling, Dry Cupping with conventional therapy, on pain using pressure pain algometer.
-
To study the added effect of Dry Needling, Dry Cupping with conventional therapy, on functional limitations of foot & ankle using FADI (Foot and Ankle Disability Index).
Null Hypothesis :
H0 : There will be no difference in the effect of Dry Needling and Dry Cupping in the treatment of Plantar fasciitis.
Alternate Hypothesis :
**H1 :**Dry Needling will be more effective than Dry Cupping in the treatment of plantar fasciitis.
H2 : Dry Cupping will be more effective than Dry Needling in the treatment of plantar fasciitis.
